"Even if there is no such incident in Xishi, you will still attack the Jiangnan forces, just to find a reason." Changsun Wuji looked at Gu Qing and said slowly: "After this time, your position as the prime minister will be gone."

"I didn't think about how long I would sit." Gu Qing said calmly.

Changsun Wuji nodded, "That's right. It seems that I am thinking right. You don't care or even hate the position of the prime minister. Losing this position will not be a loss for you. You use this price that has no effect on yourself to deal with the Jiangnan forces. Gu Qing, I am really not wrong about you."

"The old guy still sees it thoroughly." Gu Qing smiled.

"I have you in my life, and I am already very content. Sometimes I really want to fight you after decades of youth. Unfortunately, I don't have the strength to be in my old age. Why can't you come out a few years earlier?" Changsun Wuji sighed.

Gu Qing held up the river and watched the water flowing down from his fingers and whispered: "Time will never stop, and every second I can't look back. When I came to the Tang Dynasty, I felt that I couldn't help myself. Now I have regrets and instead of constantly entanglement, it's better to accept calmly. Here I have a home, I have relatives, and with my figure, I took root and found that many things cannot be as I wish. I thought I could control everything in this era and I could change a lot, but when I wanted to do what I wanted, I was so powerless."

After hearing Gu Qing say this, Changsun Wuji felt the wind blowing more and more coldly and said: "How can you start from scratch in life? If you can do it again, I, Changsun Wuji, still want to be your Gu Qing's opponent."

"If I do it again, I will find a peach blossom land that is isolated from the world and spend my life in peace, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter."

"This kind of words should be said by an old man like me." Changsun Wuji said: "It's not what a young man should say."

"Just think I have lived for two lives." Gu Qing looked at his reflection in the water.

"Can you accompany me for a long time? I want to see Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji said.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you." Gu Qing nodded.

Changsun Wuji walked step by step with a cane to Li Er's house. The road was not far away, just downstream of the river, but it was very difficult to walk. Before coming to Li Er's house, Li Er and Empress Changsun stood in front of their own door.

Li Er stepped forward to support Changsun Wuji and said, "Auxiliary, you are old."

"Your Majesty is old, too." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Er's gray temples.

"Brother, go in and sit down." Queen Changsun also said.

"No need." Changsun Wuji waved his hand, sat down on a stone on the side of the road and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is here to say goodbye this time."

Li Er nodded slightly, "Take good care of your life in the future."

"The old minister understands." Changsun Wuji continued: "So many things happened in Zhenguan dynasty. What I remember most is Gu Qing, Your Majesty! The old minister asked another question, will there be a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty after Gu Qing?"

"There is no more prime minister in the Tang Dynasty after Gu Qing." Li Er said decisively, "Gu Qing is the last one."

Gu Qing grinned when he heard this, why did he sound like he was a prime minister who was a disaster to the country and the people?

"Some of the old ministers couldn't say it at that time, but now they can say it." Changsun Wuji looked at Li Er and said, "I only say it to His Majesty."

Empress Changsun nodded and walked away, Gu Qing also walked away and looked back at Changsun Wuji and Li Er talking. She couldn't hear what she said, but Changsun Wuji had a smile on her face and Li Er's expression was also relaxed.

A long time later, Li Er and Changsun Wuji walked over, and Changsun Wuji said, "Gu Qing, let's go to the next place."

"Okay, I'll accompany you all day today." Gu Qing agreed.

Li Er stood there and watched Gu Qing and Changsun Wuji leave. Empress Changsun walked up to look at the backs of the two and said to Li Er: "What did the brother and Erlang say?"

"I didn't say anything. Sometimes I wonder what kind of person Gu Qing will become in the future. Gu Qing and Changsun Wuji have been fighting for so many years. Sometimes I wonder if Gu Qing will become the second Changsun Wuji. But today the auxiliary machine told me that if Gu Qing wants to abandon the position of Prime Minister, he will not become the second Changsun Wuji." Li Er smiled and said, "Maybe even Gu Qing himself doesn't know how much he has changed to him for so many years in the Tang Dynasty."

"I don't understand Erlang's words." Empress Changsun said in confusion.

"Inheritance is a very magical thing. Gu Qing has been fighting in Chang'an for so many years. I wonder whether even Gu Qing himself doesn't know how many people of my generation have received how high the expectations of Gu Qing. Gu Qing has just come to Chang'an for less than a few years. The support of his seniors and the care of his seniors have had a great impact on Gu Qing. Gu Qing slaughtered countless times on the battlefield. At the beginning, I was also worried whether Gu Qing would become a very violent person."

"So Your Majesty asked Gu Qing to enter Daning Temple?" Queen Changsun asked.

Li Er nodded slightly, "What makes me feel assured is the gratitude in Gu Qing's heart. As long as Gu Qing keeps this gratitude in his heart, he will not be much worse. Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Li Jing and others have a great influence on Gu Qing in many cases. Children will imitate adults. Gu Qing has been out of place since he came to Chang'an and now I can't feel this in place in Gu Qing. Every word of the senior has carved a shadow in Gu Qing's heart. These shadows will affect Gu Qing's life, the senior's expectations for Gu Qing, and Gu Qing's gratitude to the seniors."

"This friendship that cannot be let down is the heaviest shackle for Gu Qing." Li Er held Queen Changsun's hand and said, "Let's go back, they have also gone far."

Empress Changsun nodded and took Li Er's hand and returned home.

Gu Qing followed Changsun Wuji all the way to Ganye Temple. Facing the temple gate of Ganye Temple, Changsun Wuji did not move for a long time.

"Princess Changle is inside, don't go in and take a look." Gu Qing asked.

"I'm afraid of disturbing me, I just need to see her from a distance." Changsun Wuji said, standing with a cane.

Gu Qing also stood here with him. After more than an hour, several nuns walked out of Ganye Temple. At first glance, they saw a group of people with black hair shrouded in the wind. Changle was a little surprised when he saw Gu Qing, but the old man who stopped her was still standing beside Gu Qing.

"Father..." Changle looked at Lao Mai's words, and half of his words choked in his throat.
